Most legends or myths are found to be based on factual events sometime in the distant past, or from some spiritual ritual believed to have come from Source.

What about the waterfall, what is the significance of water running over a cliff?

Many people who have had to opportunity to visit the land in between lives describe the waterfall on the river of life as being vibrations of green light, like vibrations in the water, vibrations that change to red and varying degrees of the colors and surround the soul.

They are described as soft, faint glows of light combining in various colors resembling rhythmic and vibrational waves, that many describe as sound waves.

They spread out and are no longer water, but just colors transcending into a vacuum, being sucked into a hole, much like water in a whirlpool, or a black hole in space.

Souls who are privy to this describe themselves as becoming one with the waterfall, becoming one with the mist that forms, and thus becoming one with the waterfall, becoming more of an energy than matter with no defined shape.

At this point, the soul feels it is just energy attempting to combine with the Source.

Most describe the experience as not being able to combine with the Source, and being ignored by it.

Perhaps, as many philosophies teach, we all need to attain a certain level of evolvement before we can unite with Divine Source.
